Perfectly written short post there brother... I can see why Serena calls you a good friend. I share many of the concerns you have when it comes to matters of "how to move forward" so I'm sure to find lots of value in the words you will share on your blog.
This "game" if i can call it that works in the same way that many others do... consistency is key and if we can keep ourselves motivated enough to not lose focus most of the time (its impossible to be perfect) the fruits will begin to hang from the trees.
In any case... our family is there, if you need help, guidance.. tutorials.. we are but clicks away.
Cheers
